From 2016 vintage all ARTADI wines will include the logo of the Certification for Organic Wine

In 2002, we initiated the conversion process in Bodegas y Viñedos ARTADI de Laguardia by gradually changing our conventional viticulture into integrated farming, finally achieving an organic agriculture based on the respect for the environment.

Along this period, we have discovered the importance of following this guideline: respect for the environment and sustainability in the cultivation of our vineyards.

As a reward for our behavior, we have realized that our wines reflect their origin, without any chemical residue that would distort their nature and personality. In short, they are more natural wines that reflect in a clearer purity the character of our vineyards and our “terroir”. This process of change has not been easy: it entails a project of adaptation both from an agricultural and vinification point of view. It has required time and efforts from everyone in our team both in the winery and, above all in the vineyard.

More natural wines that reflect in a clearer purity the character of our vineyards and our “terroir”

Thanks to this work and following tradition, we obtain healthier wines for consumers, we favour biological biodiversity, we catalyze the microbiological activity of the soil, and we help to reach a comprehensive sustainability of the winegrowing production system.

After these fifteen years of work, we have decided to include the logo of the Certification for Organic Wine on the labels of this new 2016 vintage.

With TEMPRANILLO by Artadi 2016, that we have just released to the market this week, we consolidate the journey we started in 2002.

History

1985, Laguardia (Alava). A group of winemakers, village men and women with rooted traditions who focused on the vineyard and its wines, founded Artadi. Shortly after, our obsession for the careful cultivation and the cult of the vineyard allowed us to draw out the personality of our individual wines, a reflection of their origins. In 1996 and 1999, this same conviction guided us to pursue our project in Artazu (Navarra) and Pinoso (Alicante).

Only wines shaped over time are able to lead us to valuable life experiences. The memories, the experiences, the selfless work, the silence, the fragility, the subtle, the light at the end of the tunnel, the print... All crystallize in the wine as if it were a valuable relic.

Only the greatest of wines bring us to the past, full of wisdom and emotions.

Vineyards

We keep alive the viticultural traditions of our grandparents, fighting against the destructive advances that chemistry has introduced into industrialized and disrespectful agricultural management. We aim to preserve the production and the enjoyment of a "living" wine, with feelings and spirituality, integrating nature and the vineyard in our own lives.

With the complete absence of fertilizers and synthetic chemical substances used in our fields, we commit to keep the vineyard´s ecosystem alive and to make wines that are organic, sustainable and environmentally-friendly.

Applying the terroir as a viticultural project; the passion for the things well done; respect for a historical heritage; the love of nature; the personality of our wines... These are the reasons for which we work every day with one main goal: to produce inimitable wines.

Winemaking

We appreciate the making of a good wine, following a natural transformation, evolution and entropy as processes of life. Native yeasts, low-sulfur content, absence of chemical compounds, working with gravity, respecting the evolution of a wine, the appreciation of life... These are realities that lie close to our wines and favor the rich heritage of a complex vineyard full of subtle nuances.
